BIENALSUR’s general director Aníbal Jozami told Arab News: “For us it's very important to be in Saudi Arabia because it’s a very important country and related to our country because we have an important percentage of our population with Arab origins — I’m an example myself. The goal of BIENALSUR is to bring culture to where the people are. It’s not an exhibition or a project for the upper classes; it’s a project for all. We’re in different museums in different countries around the world.
